Sahara Mall: a bit of class

    Sahara Mall in distance
    by uglyscot
    The Sahara Mall has been built within the last 5 years, and lies just inside Sharjah as you drive from Dubai. It is still in a desert area, and so its tent-like form is quite appropriate, though now many high rise buildings are coming up.
    Inside it is spacious and has a classier variety of shops than many of the other malls. there are shops selling Arabian perfumes vying with Chanel and other western brands. There are 'antique' shops selling Arab goods, furnishings and clothes. There are wonderful shops with home furnishings [The One] where you can sometimes get real bargains.
    Its atmosphere is calmer than the larger Malls.

    I like the Book Gallery as it has a nice selection of English books. Magrudy's in City Centre, Deira may be larger and be more like a UK bookshop, but the Book Gallery has often been where I actually buy books because the layout makes me feel more relaxed, and I find what I want.

    A popular paperback book costs about 35 to40 dirhams

    The Souk Al Arsa in the Heritage area is a perfect place to buy handicrafts and antiques.

  • Mango, Zara, Early Learning Centre, Shoe Mart, Accessorize and many others. Mugg and bean is here - which sells great coffee, teas, huge muffins and cakes and deserts, and huge pies and other dinner plates. Very American but worth it if you need a present or fancy an afternoon of shopping.

    Clothes.

    Average. Depends which store. Shoe Mart is cheap, Accessorize the same as the U.K.

    Swarana at M&B
    by Sophie1980
    All you Frenchies reading this are probably laughing, but we spend many an hour here wandering the aisles. Products from France, America, England, India, and of course local and other food. The fresh food deprtment is fabulous - dates from Iraq, courgettes from Oman, grapes from Syria. Really cheap prices. A week's food from here costs me 150dhs, which is under 25 pounds.

    Fresh produce.

    Cheap.

    Sahara Centre: Yet another shopping mall**
  • Tip Rating:

  • Sharjah Page by Sophie1980
  • Decent sized shopping mall just in Sharjah, but visible from Dubai because of the pointy white roof top than glows purple at night. Your usual array of shops; M&S, Spinneys, Debenhams, Toys R US, Century Cinemas and an Advernturland for kids plus a huge food court. Worth a trip if you're in Sharjah.

    Clothes.

    The Souks

  • For those who enjoy shopping, Sharjah offers a great number of souks, the Arabian bazaars where not only great bargains can be had, but where you can have a cultural experience to boot.

    Some of the older souks provide a glimpse into another world - and another era - while the newer ones are big and airy with dazzling displays of goods from across the region.

  • The Sharjah City Centre is one of the largest malls in Sharjah. It is home to a large number of shops as well as 19 restaurants in its food court.

    It has a large outlet of Carrefour, the supermarket chain.

    There is a household item-shop called Daiso in the mall very close to the food court, which sells different items imported from China, most of which cost 5 Dirhams.

    Splash: Like Mango/Zara - only cheaper

  • Next to Carrefour, with an Indian cinema ajoining it, Splash is fantastic. Cheap with lots of funky stuff if your sift through the crap. Think Zara, Mango and a little bit Top Shop.

    Tops, skirts, cheap belts. Everything. Cos it won't break the bank.

    Much lower than average. 20 dhs for a top, 30 for a skirt. I paid 2!!!! for a belt. Good Golly Miss Molly.
